While respecting each Filipino’s right to travel overseas, Manila has now stepped up its anti-human trafficking drive as its 11-agency member task force, responsible for the prevention of illegal recruitment, bonded labour, forced prostitution and other modern-day forms of slavery, has approved stricter guidelines for international Filipino travellers (IFTs).

La consejera de Sanidad y Política Social, María Ángeles Palacios, mantuvo un encuentro con una treintena de familias murcianas que participan en el Programa de Acogimiento Familiar de Urgencia y Diagnóstico, más conocido como 'Familias Canguro', y destacó la labor social, humana y solidaria que llevan a cabo.
'Familias Canguro' es un programa de acogimiento temporal de niños con edades comprendidas entre los cero y los seis años, que evita su institucionalización, mientras se realiza el proceso de diagnóstico y valoración de los menores, necesario para su adopción.
Los niños incluidos en este programa proceden tanto de progenitores que han manifestado su renuncia a ellos y su consentimiento para la adopción, o porque no existe posibilidad de que el menor vuelva a su entorno familiar por las características propias de las mismo. También pueden ser incluidos en el programa niños y niñas en situación de guarda temporal a petición de los padres o menores cuya tutela corresponde a la Administración y sus condiciones de salud no hacen aconsejable su internamiento en un centro.
En cuanto a la red de familias canguro existente en la Región de Murcia, desde que se puso en marcha este programa en el año 2005 y hasta el día de hoy, está formada por un total de 74 familias que se han hecho cargo o lo hacen en este momento de 245 menores. Las familias participantes pasan un proceso de formación complejo que garantiza que el cuidado que van a prestar al menor es el adecuado y muestran su disponibilidad para acoger a un niño en cualquier momento que sea necesario.
Palacios destacó que la formación de estas familias no solo está dirigida a los cuidados que debe recibir el menor, si bien es cierto que ese es el objetivo prioritario, garantizar la seguridad y el bienestar de ellos, también, dijo, "se trabajan aspectos emocionales importantes que ayudan a estas familias a poder separarse de los bebés después de un periodo de convivencia".
1.314 menores tutelados
Por otra parte, hay que señalar que en la actualidad la Consejería de Sanidad y Política Social tiene tutelados un total de 1.314 menores que, o bien se encuentran en centros, o bien con familia extensa (parientes), familias ajenas o en programas de acogimiento temporal, en el que está incluido el de 'Familias Canguro'.
El mayor número de menores tutelados (748) permanece en acogimientos temporales con familia extensa, le siguen los menores internados en centros de la Región (233) y los acogimientos con familia ajena (227). El resto de menores se encuentran dentro de los programas de acogimiento temporal ACOFAMT, de acogimiento especial, MENA para los menores extranjeros no acompañados que llegan a la Región, y Familia Canguro.laverdad.es

The UN refugee agency has helped resettle a group of 33 unaccompanied children who had spent months living in a special camp set up in Tunisia to provide shelter for people fleeing last year's political turmoil in neighbouring Libya.


The children, who left for Norway on Sunday, were among 90 who arrived unaccompanied from Libya during 2011. Some were already without parents when they first arrived in Libya; others lost their parents or became separated from them subsequently. Most are from Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia or Eritrea.


They had been staying in Tunisia's Choucha camp, which is home to 3,400 refugees. The unaccompanied children have relied on help from friends and relatives, as well as local and international aid workers. In total, 39 of these 90 children have now been resettled – most to Norway, Sweden and Denmark.


"As they had formed strong bonds among each other, the departure has been painful for many of them – not least those still awaiting resettlement," UNHCR spokesman Adrian Edwards told reporters in Geneva. "Life at Choucha camp remains difficult, with windswept conditions and bitter cold. UNHCR and its partners hope that solutions can quickly be found for the unaccompanied children who remain there – as well as for the other refugees who await solutions."


UNHCR provides assistance at Choucha, works with the children and their communities to establish the best interests of each child, advocates for resettlement and submits cases to resettlement countries. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) provides child-friendly orientation and arranges transportation to new homes. It arranged the weekend flight to Norway.


Edwards stressed that UNHCR considers resettlement to be the only viable option for the majority of recognized refugees who fled Libya to Tunisia and Egypt last year. Both countries allowed hundreds of thousands of migrants to stay temporarily before being repatriated in a joint IOM-UNHCR operation. UNHCR and IOM have called upon states, especially European countries, to offer more resettlement places for the remaining refugees at the borders of Egypt and Tunisia.


UNHCR has completed refugee status determination for all 2,500 applicants in Choucha camp and 2,200 have been recognized as refugees. Together with an additional 800 people who were recognized as refugees in Libya before the unrest of 2011, more than 3,000 refugees have been submitted for resettlement from the camp.


Meanwhile at Egypt's Saloum border crossing with Libya, around 1,400 people have been submitted for resettlement out of 1,830 there.


Resettlement referrals for both Choucha and Saloum have been submitted and accepted by Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and the United States. Most recently, Germany, New Zealand and Spain have joined the resettlement effort by planning to send selection missions to the two camps.


UNHCR is calling on resettlement countries to expedite decisions on submissions. Currently only one out of five refugees submitted has been accepted, and only one out of six, or 731 refugees, has actually departed. UNHCR's emergency transit centres in Romania and Slovakia are providing crucial additional space for refugees to be interviewed for onward resettlement from both Tunisia and Egypt, notably to the United States and the Netherlands.
